The label was founded in 2005 as a Greater Region initiative between Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. Since 2010, the Luxembourg Ministry for Tourism awards the label in association with Info-Handicap.

In total, some 71 establishments in Luxembourg have now been awarded the label. At the presentation, Tourism Minister Françoise Hetto-Gaasch said: “This is a symbol of equality, and not a label for persons with disabilities.”

Director of Info-Handicap Silvio Sagramola added that people with disabilities should have a place in society. This kind of label will make it easier for them to plan their holidays ahead, without any bad surprises, such as narrow doors or stairs, at their holiday destination.

Applicants for the label are advised by Info-Handicap employees on how to improve access, but the label also awards efforts by tourism providers to best welcome and accommodate guests with special needs.

This year, the following tourism providers were given the “EureWelcome” label:

Camping Auf Kengert (Larochette / Medernach)

Camping Bleesbruck (Bleesbruck / Diekirch)

Camping Bissen (Heiderscheidgrund)

Camping Kalkesdelt (Ettelbruck)

Camping Toodlermillen (Tadler)

Hotel Ibis Esch Belval (Esch-sur-Alzette)

Hotel-Restaurant Bellevue (Vianden)

Restaurant Bonifas (Nospelt)

Restaurant Casa Fabiana (Luxemburg)

Villa Vauban (Luxembourg)

Musée d’histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg (Luxembourg)

The Schueberfouer 2012 in Luxembourg City meanwhile got a special mention for increasing access for people with disabilities.
